Surely, since according to the far right Obama was to blame for the declining economy prior to taking office, he must also then be credited with the growing economy. No amount of twisted logic and ideological contortion can get around that conundrum.

True, it was a home price bubble that got us into this uniquely deep mess, but it's also the case that housing, goosed by low interest rates, is a traditional escape route from recession.
